Mahatma Gandhi
[Third of 5 pages]
Owing to his poor health, Gandhi was released from prison in 1925. Over the following
years, he worked hard to preserve Hindu-Muslim relations, and in 1924 he observed,
from his prison cell, a 21-day fast when Hindu-Muslim riots broke out at Kohat, a
military barracks on the Northwest Frontier. This was to be of his many major public
fasts, and in 1932 he was to commence the so-called Epic Fast unto death, since he
thought of "separate electorates" for the oppressed class of what were then called
untouchables (or Harijans in Gandhi's vocabulary, and dalits in today's language) as a
retrograde measure meant to produce permanent divisions within Hindu society. Gandhi
earned the hostility of Ambedkar, the leader of the untouchables, but few doubted that
Gandhi was genuinely interested in removing the serious disabilities from which they
suffered, just as no one doubt that Gandhi never accepted the argument that Hindus and
Muslims constituted two separate elements in Indian society. These were some of the
concerns most prominent in Gandhi's mind, but he was also to initiate a constructive
programme for social reform. Gandhi had ideas -- mostly sound -- on every subject, from
hygiene and nutrition to education and labor, and he relentlessly pursued his ideas in one
of the many newspapers which he founded. Indeed, were Gandhi known for nothing else
in India, he would still be remembered as one of the principal figures in the history of
Indian journalism.
In early 1930, as the nationalist movement was revived, the Indian National Congress, the
preeminent body of nationalist opinion, declared that it would now be satisfied with
nothing short of complete independence (purna swaraj). Once the clarion call had been
issued, it was perforce necessary to launch a movement of resistance against British rule.
On March 2, Gandhi addressed a letter to the Viceroy, Lord Irwin, informing him that
unless Indian demands were met, he would be compelled to break the "salt laws".
Predictably, his letter was received with bewildered amusement, and accordingly Gandhi
set off, on the early morning of March 12, with a small group of followers towards Dandi
on the sea. They arrived there on April 5th: Gandhi picked up a small lump of natural
salt, and so gave the signal to hundreds of thousands of people to similarly defy the law,
since the British exercised a monopoly on the production and sale of salt. This was the
beginning of the civil disobedience movement: Gandhi himself was arrested, and
thousands of others were also hauled into jail. It is to break this deadlock that Irwin
agreed to hold talks with Gandhi, and subsequently the British agreed to hold a Round
Table Conference in London to negotiate the possible terms of Indian independence.
Gandhi went to London in 1931 and met some of his admirers in Europe, but the
negotiations proved inconclusive. On his return to India, he was once again arrested.
